That was his 180 wood scape. I believe he went with the wet dry off the bat on this tank.

Yep..........I had a OC filter on the old 120 which had a 24x24x48" tank size.........but I took that one off and reused the sump and pump.

I suppose I could add an OC filter, but they are a PITA to clean and reuse those cartridges. Slows the flow down as they clog etc.

I just accept a little filth and do good sized water changes and use sponge.
Another option would be to have a mechanical loop inside the sump with a very fine micron rated canister. Something cheapo like coffee filters etc that I could toss out easy every 2-3 days etc.

Did do a little bit more trimming, most species are doing better after adapting to the new home.........Fire red shrimps are roaches...they are everywhere. Time to start culling them and selling them off locally.

Err, could be Red myrio the M turbulatum or whatever........P stellatus, A reineckii that has not colored up entirely..........Green Rotala macrandra, the larger wide leaf bright green thing is something else, I do not recall, it had a nice large bright green leaf so I liked it and it's easy to grow/care for.

I trimmed today and sloped the Ludwigia sp "red" nicely and went to the bone in the front, removed some filler plants, added a spacer wood piece or two, thinned out stuff here and there. Hedge sod cut the UG a bit.

Spent most of the time playing with my Woodagumi 70 Gallon. Pics will be forthcoming in a month or so.
Trimmed the staro porto velho some also finally. Spread it out a little. It's not taking off as fast as most of the foreground plants. Even UG does a faster clip. This is good and bad, once it does grow in, it'll stay put.

The L pantanal is becoming a bit weedy. Getting it to scape well and be ordered and consistent is not the easiest thing. I may replace with something else or move it where I can tend it more.
